The major question entering the 78th staging of the NCAA Men’s Cross Country Championship is whether any teams or runners can catch the favorites?

In the individual race, OREGON senior Edward Cheserek is seeking to cement his legacy as the greatest athlete in NCAA Division I Cross Country history with an unprecedented fourth national title.

No male or female has accomplished the feat of four individual Division I na-tional crowns, with the current mark of three held by �ve athletes, four of whom represent the Conference of Champions:

Edward Cheserek, OREGON (2013-15)Sally Kipyego, Texas Tech (2006-08)

The 36th annual NCAA Women’s Cross Country Championship will feature a national-best six Pac-12 teams, marking the eighth conseutive year that at least �ve league member schools have earned NCAA bids.

No. 1 ranked COLORADO has steadily climbed into favorite status over the �nal few weeks of the season, supplanting Providence atop the national poll in mid-October following a 61-point win at Pre-Nationals. The Buffaloes subsequently cruised to titles at the Pac-12 and NCAA West Regional Championships by 41 and 74 points, respectively, to maintain the top spot.

Only one other NCAA Cross Country athlete has won four individual titles - Abilene Christian’s Nico-demus Naimadu in Division II from 2004-07.

Cheserek has already made history as the �rst man to win four Pac-12 individual titles with his 14-sec-ond triumph in Tucson, Ariz., on Oct. 28, eclips-ing the old mark of three he shared with Rono and Prefontaine. His Pac-12 win also garnered him his fourth straight Pac-12 Athlete of the Year award, again unprecedented in league history. Last week-end, he became the �rst Ducks runner to win three West Regional titles.

On the team side, the Pac-12 will have a nation-al-best six squads competing in the NCAA Men’s Championship, with the next closest conference with three entries. However, all of the 31 teams in the �eld will be looking to keep pace with No. 1 nationally ranked Northern Arizona, which is unde-feated on the season, including a 16-point win (60-76) over No. 2 COLORADO at last weekend’s West Regional meet in Logan, Utah.

If CU or the other �ve Pac-12 entrants, led by West Region champion No. 3 STANFORD, No. 10 UCLA and No. 13 OREGON, can take down NAU, it would mark the 17th NCAA team title for current Pac-12 members.

Since the turn of the century, current Pac-12 members have accounted for nine of the 16 na-tional team titles, including all �ve of COLORADO’s crowns. The Pac-12’s 16 titles are second only to the Big Ten’s 19, all but two of which were won be-tween 1938-88.

Neale will be gunning for a postseason individual trifecta after capturing the titles at both the Pac-12 and West Regional meets within the past three weeks.

Like STANFORD and WASHINGTON, No. 12 ORE-GON has lurked equally as close in a pair of fourth-place showings at Pac-12s and West Regionals, �nishing �ve and 19 points off of third place at each event.

If any of those four teams, or No. 27 UTAH and No. 30 UCLA, can stake their claim to this year’s NCAA title, it would mark the 12th women’s na-tional championship among current Conference members.

Current Pac-12 members have combined for a total of 11 NCAA team titles, including eight of the 16 awarded since the turn of the century, most recently OREGON in 2012.

Should one the league’s six entrants emerge victori-ous in this year’s team race, the Pac-12 would tie the Big East for the most national titles by a confer-ence. The Big East has won 12 women’s national titles, eight of which came between 1989-98.

MEN’S PREVIEW WOMEN’S PREVIEW

Since expanding to the Pac-12 in 2011, the league has produced the most competitive and successful NCAA teams and individuals in the country, highlighted by:

MEN’S CROSS COUNTRY• 2 NCAA men’s team national champions, the most of any conference.• 10 Top 5 men’s team �nishes at NCAA Championship, the most of any conference. The ACC and Big 12 are second with three apiece.• 4 NCAA men’s individual national champions, the most of any conference.• 47 men’s All-Americans, the most of any conference. The ACC is second with 26.• The most men’s All-Americans each year, highlighted by 15 in 2014 and 12 in 2015.• 22 men’s NCAA Championship participant teams, second-most of any conference behind only the ACC’s 26.• The most men’s NCAA Championship participant teams in 2014 (�ve) and 2015 (league-record seven).

WOMEN’S CROSS COUNTRY• 1 NCAA women’s team national champion.• Seven Top 5 women’s team �nishes at NCAA Championship, the second-most of any conference behind the Big East.• 40 women’s All-Americans, the most of any conference. The ACC is second with 24.• 27 women’s NCAA Championship participant teams, the most of any conference.• Five consecutive years with at least �ve women’s NCAA Championship participant teams, the only conference in the nation with such a streak.• The most women’s NCAA Championship participant teams in three of last �ve years: 2011 (seven), 2012 (�ve) and 2015 (�ve).

The Pac-12 is the winningest conference in NCAA Cross Country history, as current league members boast:• A national-best 27 NCAA Cross Country team titles (16 men/11 women, both second-best among confer-ences)• A national-best 28 NCAA Cross Country individual titles (25 men, most of any conference/3 women)• 33 NCAA Cross Country runner-up team �nishes (18 men/15 women)• Current Pac-12 members boast nine total USTFCCCA men’s cross country national athlete of the year awards, with the next closest conference with three (Big South).

TUCSON, Ariz. - OREGON senior Edward Cheserek made history as the �rst four-time men’s individual champion in Conference history and COLORADO swept the men’s and women’s team titles for the second consecutive year to highlight the 2016 Pac-12 Cross Country Championships hosted by ARIZONA at Ran-dolph North Golf Course on Friday, Oct. 28.

Along with the team and men’s individual titles, WASHINGTON’s Amy-Eloise Neale captured the wom-en’s 6,000-meter individual crown in 20:22.9, out kicking COLORADO’s Erin Clark and Dani Jones to the �nish by just 0.4 and 1.5 seconds, respectively.

Cheserek passed distance legends and three-time league men’s champs Steve Prefontaine (OREGON, 1970-71 & 1973) and Henry Rono (WASHINGTON STATE, 1976 & 1978-79) with his four-peat, joining ARIZONA alumna Amy Skieresz (1995-98) as the Conference’s only four-time individual cross country champions.

Cheserek broke free midway through the 8,000-meter race and coasted to a 14-second victory in 23:58.9, besting runner-up Grant Fisher (24:13.5) from STANFORD.

The No. 7 COLORADO men won the team title for the sixth consecutive year – every year since joining the Pac-12 in 2011 – to match the Conference record set by STANFORD from 2000-05.

Led by top-10 showings from Ben Saarel (third), Zach Perrin (fourth), John Dressel (sixth) and Ryan Forsyth (ninth), the Buffaloes totaled 41 points to narrowly defeat the No. 2 nationally ranked Cardinal (47). No. 10 UCLA (58) placed third, No. 3 OREGON (94) came in fourth, and No. 15 WASHINGTON STATE (130) closed the top 5.

Paced by Clark, Jones and top-10 �nishes by Kaitlyn Benner (fourth) and Makena Morley (ninth), the No. 1 nationally ranked COLORADO women amassed 33 points to coast to their second straight Pac-12 women’s team crown. The Buffaloes, who were cheered on by alumna and 2016 Rio Olympics 1,500-me-ter bronze medalist Jenny Simpson, are the �rst repeat Conference champion since WASHINGTON ac-complished the feat in 2008 and 2009.

No. 2 WASHINGTON, powered by Neale’s individual title, was the runner-up with 74 points, followed by No. 11 STANFORD (83) in third, No. 5 OREGON (88) in fourth and No. 17 UTAH (169) in �fth.

It marked the third time COLORADO swept the men’s and women’s team titles (2011, 2015-16) since joining the league in 2011.
